Reserve Component Mobilization: The Key to Success

Abstract

With the pending drawdown of United States military forces, the reliance placed on the Reserve Components of the Army has never been greater. The ability to rapidly mobilize to meet any future contingency will be paramount to the success or failure of the Army to project itself, and in doing so fulfill its role in achieving the national security objectives of the United States government. Mobilization is an extremely complex process which will be made more difficult by the fact that future mobilizations may occur very rapidly. We must continue to improve the process of centralized planning and decentralized execution of detailed, accurate, and well rehearsed mobilization plans for the Reserve Components if we in fact are going to insure that it is the KEY TO SUCCESS.
